Petes Dragon
SCORE: 79
Pete's Dragon was originally released in 1976, and was high
technology for its day. Disney mixed animation with live actors to tell
a story. So thirty-three years later it is nice to see the release of
Pete's Dragon High-Flying Edition on DVD.
I had not seen this movie for quite some time, and must say the effects
are showing their age. I was also surprised to see a tavern, and a lot
of drinking in one scene of Pete's Dragon High-Flying Edition. The
attire choices are appropriate, and the scenery is pleasant to look at.
The only violence in this movie is used for comic relief, and/or chasing
off the bad characters.
Pete's Dragon High-Flying Edition has a lot of songs in it. None of them
stuck with me. I had some children watch Pete's Dragon High-Flying
Edition with me, and the songs did not capture their attention like
other Disney musicals.
There are some special features of historical interest in Pete's Dragon
High-Flying Edition. The Brazzle Dazzle Effects that show the behind the
scenes of Disney's movie magic is my personal favorite. There are some
deleted storyboard sequences which are okay. Demo recordings of songs,
and a few more.
The menu screens in Pete's Dragon High-Flying Edition exhibit an
intelligent design. They have a pretty standard layout which makes
navigation simple. I enjoyed some of the background graphics on various
menu screens. A few of the feature names are so long I was not always
sure if I was on it due to how the icon image exhibits.
Pete's Dragon High-Flying Edition teaches the story of a boy trying to
get freed from slavery. He winds up getting into a family, and not
having to run away anymore. At this point the dragon no longer needs to
help him. Elliot (the dragon) is shown as semi-intelligent, and acts
like a dog quite a bit. Pete's Dragon High-Flying Edition is a clean
(generally) movie that can give hope.
